Okay. So here's the deal. It's the week before fall break and it is filled with midterms and projects. Especially Flash projects that I am apparently cursed with and that hate me. I have officially started over three times on my project and it is still not working. Fantastic.
It's Thursday night and I leave for Boston (EEEEEK!) tomorrow afternoon and don't get back until Tuesday afternoon. I needed something to bake tonight. But I needed to get my Flash project done, a reaction paper, a weekly report, and other stuff. I didn't have time for some really intense baking, which I normally love to do. This sadly, would not be a cooking dinner, baking and wine night.
I needed to go to the store to grab something for dinner so I decided to the simplest baking there is and that is break and bake cookies. They can't make baking cookies any easier. You open the bag. Break the cookies apart and put them in the oven. Seriously, it could not get any easier to make cookies.
I grabbed the mini's because I feel like you can have more that way. Kendall and her boyfriend were over so I broke and baked and 10 minutes later there was a heavenly smell in the kitchen. They were delicious. Perfect actually.
The sad thing was that they tasted so much better than the cookies I made this summer by scratch. I used the Nestle Tollhouse recipe for cookies and they were initially good, but once they cooled down they were just bad. Just really really bad. But these Nestle Tollhouse Break n Bake cookies were perfect. Delicious warm with some cold milk. They were still good once they had cooled too. And so much easier!
I'll admit this was a pretty weak baking job this week. But it was still good compared to my original idea of just buying something from McKinley's (coconut cream pie) and eating it and talking about it. I mean, sure it's not baking but I figured it was still bakery related. Luckily for all you followers I devoured my McKinley's treat before I remembered the whole taking pictures thing so I decided to be a little more dedicated and make the easiest dessert in the world.
The exciting news is that tomorrow I catch a flight to Boston and will get to spend my fall break touring Boston and driving the coast of Maine. I'm pretty pumped. The saddest part is that what I am most excited about is that I am not going to have my school stuff with me. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be THREE WHOLE DAYS with no school stuff to look at and work on. That is the longest it has been since I have started school this semester! Ok, at the word limit, totally on to the next assignment so I be on FALL BREAK!!!!!
